As the title says
I'm intrigued by these and very tempted to try one of these; at least I was until I was given a very tempting offer on a Telecaster. I'm still dithering between the 2, but after watching a few YouTube vids featuring Hollowbelly & also Mike Snowden the appeal of the very different & simplistic box seems to bee pulling me in.

Go on, do it.... everyone has a Tele.
Go on, do it.... everyone has a Tele.
And this is a good enough reason for me not to get one
I'm looking out for a good box to put a neck on, would be nice if I could fit a mini amp in there too.
Sounds like an excuse to post these cigar boxes again....
A Mandocaster has long been on my Lottery win shopping list but having already tried to learn mandolin and not getting far I sold it. That failure was partly down to having too little patience to learn another set of chord shapes as I was learning ukulele at the time. I can still manage a couple of Pogues tunes and a bit of Losing My Religion which I think everyone learns when they start mandolin, but not much else.
I would like to try an octave mandolin though now that I've forgotten most of what I learned on uke... or maybe a tenor guitar, maybe both as I think they may be tuned to the same intervals. Could be wrong there but I suspect it's at least possible.
Bry; nice, by mentioning mandocaster i don't mean the fender type, its a revelation copy of the Eastwood model, its a mini telecaster body
I had to look it up but the Eastwood type is much more the sort of thing I was thinking of, dont like the look of the Fender very much.
Plenty of Cigar Box kit builds around. A great way to build up construction and set up knowledge that will save you tons of money by doing your own guitar maintenance in the future. Get a cigar box kit and a tele (or even a tele kit).
Cheers, Reg.
The Tele is a rather nice Tokai that a colleague is selling; he only wants 200 for it.
If I get it I think I need to sell one of my other guitars, let alone adding a cigar box guitar too. B-)
Did anyone ever see the guitars that were doing the rounds a number of years back which had an old-style metal oil can as the body? They were called "Township" guitars or something like that?
